 :: WILDEBEEST MIGRATION

2010 Safari Calendar | 2011 Safari Calendar | 2012 Safari Calendar


The Wildebeest Migration is a dramatic story. It takes place within Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya and Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and is the greatest wildlife show on earth. Between the open plains of the
Serengeti and the Masai Mara, thousands of wildebeest and zebras migrate to greener pastures as the seasons change and the circle of life and death continues. Predators follow the Wildebeest Migration closely, waiting for an opportunity to strike weak prey as they make their way into different territories.

The precise timing of the Wildebeest migration changes annually and it is a very unpredictable and spontaneous natural event. The calving season takes place in the Serengeti between the months of
January and mid-March before the Wildebeest Migration begins heading towards the western Serengeti in June. The best time to see the migration in Serengeti is usually between May and June when the wildebeest congregate and prepare to cross the famous Grumeti River. Mbango safaris has an excellent camp in this area where you can stay to witness this natural phenomenon. In Masai Mara you can expect the wildebeest to make their arrival as early as June, but they generally arrive between July and August and remain in the Mara till October. Between November and December the wildebeest gradually begin their migration back towards the Serengeti.

We believe that going on
our migration safari to view and witness the migration is one of the ultimate safari experiences that East Africa has to offer.
